Residential Recycling Collection

The Department of Public Works (DPW) collects recycling once-a-week from single-family homes and apartment buildings with three or fewer living units. To make it easy, DPW offers "mixed" recycling with all recyclable items to be placed loosely in one container.

Apartment buildings with four or more units, mixed-use residential/commercial buildings and commercial properties are required to provide their own recycling collection services. Visit here to learn more about recycling requirements for commercial properties in the District
